Now this is a fun travel guide. It's arranged more like an encyclopedia of the common fantasy terms. It's damn funny. Some entries are wonderfully snarky, and the book slashes, not pokes, fun at all the tired fantasy cliches. Every bar exists to have fights and give employment to nubile young barmaids, every ancient castle has a dungeon full of monsters except the ones the doddering old king and the big bad evil guy live in. It's also a great tool to look inside and ask yourself, “Am I writing these cliches?”
